Web Intact (Or intactless service)

So the cap will be implemented from this month. I hope the usage stat page on your website can be set up ASAP, so at least we can manage our bandwidth properly!
 
The cap and throttling is there. Anyone seen a de-throttling or reset of cap? It's the 1st of November and still im experiencing the same poor download and browsing speeds. It's still the same as yesterday. When does the new cap start for the new month??? Or are one being permanently throttled now....
 
My speed is back to 192kbits. Browsing seems ok again. Will see when I reach my cap (if I make it) as they've blocked all p2p traffic and shaped all non priority traffic (it seems), although I still think I have a bad signal problem.
 
Don't forget - if you don't get an automated response with a unique tracking number, your mail didn't make it. Check that the address is [email protected] and not .com

Checked my sent items, was sent to [email protected] but not to worry got things sorted.

We don't have a usage stats reviewing facility yet, but there will be one coming soon when the new Radius system is implemented (about 2 weeks from now). There will be an email alert system too, but I'm not sure on the time line for that yet

Thanks for the info and we will be awaiting the new system
 
...although I still think I have a bad signal problem.

Depends what you mean by bad. My home connection has a signal of -82 which isnt great imo but still manage to pull between 6-9megs. Maybe its channel saturation.
 
MR Webintact,

I often stream Audio on the weekends. Is it possible to exceed the cap limit in one day when streaming audio through Shoutcast servers via Winamp?
 
Is it possible to have multiple GWI accounts running simultaneously on the same piece of hardware?

dont think so, cos how would you have two seperate internet sessions running at once ( unless im missing something here )

its posible, configure your router to connect to gwi like a normal connection without PPPoE authentication then on all the computers on the network setup a dial up PPPoE and dial in with diferent accounts,
 
Last 2 weeks my signal and up-time is much better (North-West) - is any one running on 512 yet:confused:


My result on www.speedtest.net:

hahah, so they capped you
didnt give you the new service you offered(512k)
have no way to check usage!

why is anyone still with them?
 
notice the lack of posts here this month, probably due the fact that most of the GWI users are on "throttled" mode and cannot load the page :D
 
lol, I'm back to my usual 192kbps connection. Browsing is great, BUT that's all I can basically do :(.

P2P is blocked and news servers timeout waaaay to often. I successfully complete about 10% of the bandwidth that I use :mad: great way to waste b/w.

I'm probably gonna wait until something concrete happens with Neotel or if something else pops up in the near future :rolleyes:. Don't want to support Telkom though :sick:.

P2P is not completly blocked i use bitcomet and it works and im currently using it right now.
 
yes, same speed as if i was downloading from the website.
20kb/s-30kb/s
i made sure that p2p was working before i got gwi and just by phoning and asking they told me that bitcomet works and it does.
